-Supplementary to Question No. 1
in begco on 13.1.88
MRS. NG (in Cantonese) : Sir, in the second paragraph of
the answer it was mentioned that for major schemes
involving area-wide träffic and public transport
diversions, press conferences would be held. Last month,
Wang the road surface of Fu Mei Street in Wong Tau Hom was
repaved and the work would last for six months. All means
of public transport had to be diverted elsewhere. In this
particular road diversion, could I ask what method had
been adopted by the Government to inform the general
public? I recall that
on that particular day a lot of
chaos was caused amongst road users.
Mrs. NG,
SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT : Sir, in the case quoted by
the District Board Transport Committee had been
consulted before work started and I believe that further
to that consultation a discussion was held with the Area
Committee chaired by Mrs. Pauline NG herself. I am happy
to say that since that discussion, some minor improvements
have been made to the traffic arrangements satisfactory to
all concerned.
